Raising the Standard of the Flock

BY selecting the best ewes in the flock
and tattening the rest for the spring mar
ket, the standard of the flock can be inn
proved. Now is the time tor flock owners
TO look to this matter, for, when the mar
gin OF profit is reduced, only the best
should be kept. 1t is much better to keep
a smaller flock that bring good returns
than have a large one in which there are
a nvmber That pay little or no profit.
With prices for pure-pred stock rang
ing lower, as at present, it is a favorable
time to secure well-bred specimens to add
to the flock and reserving the produce of
these, and culling out his flock each year,
a farmer can in a short time add much to
the quality and value of his flock. Care
should be taken. when sheep are kept in
barns and sheds during the winter, to see
that these are kept clean and dry. Sheep
are affected more than any other kind of
stock by being kept on damp floors, or
where the bedding is wet, as this is very
apt to produce diseases of the feet. Give
then good supply of bedding. and
change it oilen.-Lire Stock Journal

AN UNHEALTHY CITY.
That Is What an English Actor
Thinks of ST. Paul.

Two tall, dignitied looking men, wear
ing light suits and carrying heavy
canes, walked down Robert street
yesterday afternoon, and peered curl
ously into the shop windows as they
passed them. One of the men had
round piece of glass stuck over his right
eye, and anchored to buttonhole in his
vest by a slender cord of black silk.
They were members of Mrs. Langtry's
own company, imported from English
soil to excite the curiosity of American
people at from $50 to 81 a curiosity
AS they picked their way down the
street they seemed to be labOring under
the idea that they were sort of miSfit
in this community. A cowboy just in
from kandiyohi county ran up against
the man with the eyeglaSS, and that
piece of ornamental bric-a-brac fell out
and dangled wildly at the end of the
silken cord, while the wearer turned
and raked the cowboy over with look
that would have annihilated any ordi-
nary human being. AS for the man
from the plains, he backed up near the
edge of the sidewalk and sized up the
Infatuated actor with a puzzled express
sion on his face.
"Be yer travellin' fur some window
glass factory?'' he asked.
Cow ill bredW blurted out the actor,
go, runnin' fur er bakery, hey?" said
the cowboy. Il thought yer was ker-
nected with er glass fact'ry frum the
sign yer had hung out" and with
smile he took a fresh chew Of tobacco
and moved on.
The actor lifted his right eyebrow,
adjusted his eyeglasses again, and,
with his companion, continued their
walk. .

passing a dressmaking establishment,

TOENIPROVE SUMMIT.

A Proposition to Make 1t a BOule-
ward From Victoria to LeXin
ton.
The Summit Avenue Boulevard and
Park association held a meeting last
evening at the Ryan. Itwas announced
that the DeSnoyer estate had dedi-
Gated Il strip of 200 feet of land to the
city to be used for park and boulevard
purposes. The land is on the edge of
the bluff, commanding il fine view of
the river. and is crossed by number of
pretty ravineS. The secretary was in
Structed TO levy an assessment on the
members to meet the Indebtedness of
the association, The question of boule
Varding Summit avenue and setting
aside strip i'll the center to be planted
with Shrubbery, or Sodded, was then
discussed. Mr. Cochran announced
that the park commission had no juriS-
dictiOn to purchase property for park or
boulevard purposes. but he had under
stood that if the work was done the
commission would maintain the park.
1t was the general opinion of those pres
ent that the property owners should
take the initiative i'll the move. Mr..
Cochran believed that ualeSS something
was done to maintain the supremacy of
Summit avenue as a residence street.
that sooner or iater the fine residences
would be built OH some other street.
Several owners of property between
Victoria street and Lexington avenue
signifed their willingness to gve
enough property to make tie street $50
feet wi e. \ committee to wait upon
the council, board of public works and
park commission. and aScer ain the prac
ticability of grading boulevard from
Lexington avenue to the liver, and
widening and extending the boulevard
east from Victoria street, and to aScer-
tain the expense for this, was then APP
pointed. The committee consisted of }.
f. Moore, James Linden and l.. Warner.
A second committee, consisting of
Thomas Cochran, J. King and c. A.
Moore. was appointed to confer with
the property owners and ascertain if
they would be willing to stand their
share Of the expense of widening and
extending the boulevard. These COM
mittees will report at the next meeting.
to be held at the Ryan two weeks from
last night.
